Hey there weekend, we're lookin' at you! Feeling excited thinking about all the memories we're going to create this weekend as we fully embrace the fall and check off some items on our bucket list. Enjoy this time with your family 🍁❤️ 📷 @lillynin_dunyasi
Who else has a fall bucket list 🙋🏼♀️ Fall is one of our favorite times of the year at Smitten because of all the traditions and memories we create with our family. Apple picking, carving pumpkins, and baking anything with pumpkin are staples, but what are some more unique ideas you guys have planned with your kids this season? One fun idea we had was to host a socially distanced pumpkin painting park date with our kids and their friends. Share some of your creative ideas below 👇🏼📷 @craftycookienewyork #fallbucketlist #fallnyc #familytime
And how we love this 🌎 we've created! There's a lot of uncertainty in the world right now...hatred, injustice, a pandemic, wild fires, political chaos...it's been a tough year to say the least. But what's gotten us through all the challenging times, and what reminds us that there is good in the world is our family. Without our family we'd be nothing, and we are forever grateful for our family and those who we call family. #familyiseverything #familyfirst #grateful
Happy first day of fall! We cannot believe it's already here. The last few months have been a blur and it's hard to believe it's mid-September. As we shift from sandals to boots and sunny days at the pool to brisk days at the park we're feeling hopeful and excited as we enter the season. There's always a renewed sense of energy in the city when fall comes around and we're ready for it! 📷 @etched_in_oak #nycfall #firstdayoffall #lifewithlittles
As a proud Hispanic founder, @lisa.k.ridd and Smitten Films are proud to support #hispanicheritagemonth . Family means everything to Lisa (👆🏼check out the late 80s Panamanian fashion modeled by Lisa, her sisters and cousins, and their beloved grandmother), and supporting this community is extremely meaningful. It can be challenging to know how to support such initiatives, but for a community that’s been disproportionately affected by COVID, one impactful way is to support Latinx and Hispanic-owned businesses. We’re big fans of @kidsofimmigrants and @lil_libros, both kid-focused with inspiring missions. Comment below with your favorites, and help spread the ❤️
We have never been more proud to be a New Yorker. The resilience the city showed 19 years ago, and again the past 7 months, demonstrates the strength of this incredible community. We will #neverforget. #newyorkornowhere #nytough 📷 @lee_burns
Time moves so quickly, and before you know it days turn into months, and months turn into years. Today we’re feeling grateful for all the time with our family. Whether it’s snuggling in bed together, going on bike rides, or baking a yummy treat together, we’re making this time count! 👨👩👧👦 #qualityfamilytime #makethedayscount #grateful
Parenting is hard and deciding what’s best for our kids is so challenging. Back in March we never would’ve thought we’d be in this place of having to choose what method of schooling our kids will select for the fall. Whatever you decide, be confident it’s what’s best for you and your family and remember these choices are tough for all of us. Respect everyone’s personal decision, and keep doing you mama ❤️ 📷 @latchedmama
✨Motivational Monday ✨ You are their world, their joy, their everything. Tag a mama who needs to be reminded what a great mom they are. 📷 @growupbrite
✨Motivational Monday ✨ As we head into the week, let these words serve as a reminder that you are strong, you are loved, you're killing it as a mama, wife, and friend, YOU ARE ENOUGH. This too shall pass, and until then embrace the chaos and keep doing you ❤️ 📷 @saythegood
There's nothing more heartwarming than watching your kids relationship grow and develop. Being stuck at home the past 5 months has forced our children to form a bond that's stronger than ever. Having built in best friends has provided endless hours of entertainment and laughs (maybe a few fights) and we wouldn't have it any other way. Looking forward to more of these moments ❤️ #siblinglove #bestfriends #bondingmoments #replayreliverepeat
One of the biggest challenges we hear from our clients is how to organize the overwhelming amount of photos and videos on our phones and devices. There are a number of ways, but one of the easiest is to create a “Summer 2020” shared album on your phone (or whatever the event/season might be). The upside to this method is that you can categorize and create as many shared albums as you’d like, plus invite your nanny, parents, in-laws etc. to contribute so you have everyone’s perspective. 📷 @jordyncuret_ #tipoftheday #photostorage #replayreliverepeat

In support of #worldbreastfeedingweek we want to highlight the need to protect and promote women’s access to breastfeeding resources. Breastfeeding is an emotional journey and having access to services that support mamas during this time is imperative. Ultimately everyone has their own breastfeeding story, and no matter how your baby was fed, the strength we have as mamas is incredibly inspiring 💕 📷 @scdesigns_

Summer brings so many opportunities for kids. The opportunity to play fully, the opportunity to learn and explore, and the opportunity for uninterrupted quality family time. We hope during these summer days you’re capturing all the magic of your minis. And when it’s over and you’re looking for ways to enjoy these memories contact us so we can tell your family’s summer story and allow you to always treasure this unique and special time. #summermoments #familymemories #magicofchildhood
Children bring an extraordinary perspective to the world - one that many of us take for granted. Their innocence, wonderment, and imagination are something we're holding onto as we head into the weekend 💫 #magicofchildhood #lifewithkids #memories
Family rituals tell children a story about who they are. For us at Smitten one of our favorite summer traditions is taking trips to the farm to pick blueberries. It’s special to see the connection traditions create for a child, and how they bond us to those we love. #traditions #familybonding #documentyourdays
These days it's all about the simple pleasures in life...homemade 🍦 + 🍪 = ice cream sandwiches.
The past few months have allowed us to be more mindful. While it's been a challenging time, we can't say we haven't enjoyed slowing down, being in the present, and living a more rudimentary lifestyle. #simplepleasures #summervibes #beinthemoment
Words to live by 🙌🏻 @themommyconfessions
It's been a long couple of months, and has felt even longer without being able to hug those near and dear. As things have improved in NY, many of us have begun seeing close family again. There's truly no better feeling then reuniting with and being able to hug grandparents. Feeling all the love in this picture with founder @lisa.k.ridd family. This is something we'll never take for granted. #grandparents #reunited #grateful
The past few months have been difficult, to say the least. We couldn’t imagine getting through the days without our village, who has provided us with endless laughter, a (*virtual*) shoulder to cry on, and given us all the right answers when we were too tired to think. Here’s to all our ride or die besties we couldn’t live without - tag yours below! #besties #ittakesavillage
A magical day spent on the water ending with a beautiful sunset is what we’d describe as the perfect summer day. Looking forward to many more of these picture perfect summer moments 🌅
This time at home has taught us a lot, but one of the biggest takeaways is learning our own strength as mamas. We've endured countless days indoors homeschooling, entertained toddlers for hours on end, cooked meal after meal, and accomplished our own work - all while our kids look on and hopefully are building the same resilience and strength that has been instilled in us. 👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻 to all the superhero mamas out there, we see you! 📷 @dezandgray
Fourth of July will definitely look a bit different this year, but we're wishing everyone a fun-filled weekend with lots of laughter, delicious BBQ, and the start of incredible summer memories. 📷 @frankiefoto
It's been a minute since we've posted "Moments into Memories with Smitten Films" but we're thrilled to bring this back, and especially excited to be featuring @jassnow and her family for the month of July. These days more than ever we are all dreaming of vacation, and watching the Snow family relishing those summer beach days and seeing those smiles gives us all the feels. Summer travel may look different this year, but we can still dream about the days ahead and where we want to travel to. Where's the first place you and your family will be headed when days are sunnier? Share below so we can get dreaming ☁️
While there's still a ways to go, we're seeing a glimmer of hope as NYC heads into the second week of Phase 2 🌅 Loving this image from @tribecacitizen of our beloved city that continues to show us its beauty every day.
Despite the challenges over the past few months, we've been so grateful to have the extra family time together. This sweet moment @shiner578 shared has us looking forward to creating even more memories together this weekend ❤️
Perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can learn from our children is that they are born loving everyone ❤️ 📷 @sandra_seiden
Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads who bring us all joy and laughter each day. Father's Day is one of our most special seasons at Smitten Films. This year especially, we have felt pure joy seeing all the adorable moments between dads and their kids while making Father's Day films for our clients. Check out this sweet video one family made for their dad to remind him just how special he is 💕 #happyfathersday #dadlife

As we look for ways to continue to fight racial inequality and help support like-minded small businesses, we encourage you to check out the talented illustrator, @gina_mcmillen, and one of her latest zines, Black Lives Matter, emphasizing a critical and paramount message. 100% of proceeds from this zine will be donated to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which helps win landmark legal battles, protects voters across the nation, and advances the cause of racial justice, equality, and an inclusive society.
We have taken a pause the past week to listen, learn, and change. This image by @ohhappydani illustrates the beginning to the path forward for building a truly more diverse daily life for ourselves and our families. We will do better. Join us.

Memorial Day weekend may have looked a little different this year, but the opportunity to explore a new hiking trail, start a new book you've been dying to read, and create memories with your family are still very much open. While many vacations have been cancelled the past few months, it's important to shift our perspective and appreciate these uninterrupted days we'll never get back. Today and everyday we’re grateful to those who have sacrificed so much for our country 🇺🇸 Check out this fun video of @lisa.k.ridd and her family learning to make ice cream together as they make the most of this long weekend and celebrate family time 🍦#memorialdayweekend2020 #familymemories #grateful

Recently Smitten's founder, @lisa.k.ridd, had the privilege of sitting down with @theideamix to speak to her journey of launching Smitten Films, the challenges she's overcome, and what she's learned along the way. As we listen to her podcast and are reminded of how far Smitten has come, from Lisa hiring the first employee 2 1/2 years in, to now overseeing a team of mom's behind Smitten's storytelling, we couldn't be more proud to call her our fearless leader. Check out our stories to hear from our founder and get a sneak peek from her recording session with BTS footage.

This sweet First Year film serves as another reminder for how quickly the time passes in a baby’s first year. As time goes on and your child begins to do new things it can be difficult to remember back to the days when they were just learning how to roll over, crawl, and babble, as cute as it is. A First Year Smitten Film captures those priceless milestones and ensures you have those memories to relive forever. Bring back those baby memories and check out our link in bio for how you can start your child’s First Year Smitten Film today. We’re currently offering $100 off First Year Films for the month of February so don’t wait! (first time clients, Director's Cut only). #newbornmoments #babysfirstyear #replayreliverepeat
*PRO TIP* We've said it before, and we'll say it again: It's SO important to shoot horizontal when capturing photos and videos. The devices that we watch content on are widescreen, so if your videos and images are vertical there will be a lot of blank space on either side of the imagery. Plus shooting horizontally allows you to capture much more of what you see and gives you a wider canvas. #shoothorizontal #photographytips #photographytipsandtricks
We're so excited to announce a new series we're launching, "Moments into Memories with Smitten Films." Each month we will be featuring a trailer which highlights a Smitten family's celebratory milestone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This month we're honored to be featuring the Duda Family and their ridiculously cute daughter, Izzy. We loved telling the story of Izzy's first year, and @jennylouiseduda made this easier by capturing everything so perfectly. Between weekly photos with Izzy (which is very impressive, and something we just posted about last week!) and watching Izzy hilariously play with her "fur-sibling" it was so much fun to create. DM us today for how to create your own!
Such a magical night on Wednesday at the @maisonetteworld holiday pop-up, #maisonetteonmercer ! We had a chance to celebrate 2018 memories with some amazing NYC mamas - and got some holiday shopping done to boot (my 7 year old is going to die when she sees the rose gold skateboard I snagged her). . We also shared the mini-films we made for the @maisonetteworld founders @sylvanitas and @luisanamder (check Lu’s out here, sound 📣ON to hear these adorable sisters) and explained why we think making a Year in Review film for your family is such an amazing gift! . If you are in NYC and can stop by tomorrow, Saturday December 1st, the Smitten team will be there from 2-4pm making “mini-movies” of your and your mini getting into the holiday spirit together (see Maisonette ‘s FB event for more details!)
We loved working with the warm and kind @allierizzo on a film of her snuggly son Henry’s first six months. 👶🏼 Allie commissioned this film as a holiday gift and can’t wait to watch it with her husband, parents and in-laws this Christmas. 🎄 While we make many, many Year in Review films for a baby’s first year, we are also always happy to make a film recapping a shorter amount of time (like Henry’s first six months) - especially when there’s an occasion like Christmas that makes the film especially apropos. We know Allie already felt overwhelmed by the amount of footage she had captured of Henry in the first six months alone... and felt pretty relieved to have Smitten come in and get her organized and celebrating her memories! And now she’s got an amazing holiday gift to give all the people she loves most, too!
Still looking for that special gift for your spouse, parents or in-laws this year? We can honestly say that a Year In Review film is the most thrilling gift for a family who wants to treasure and celebrate all the fun-filled times they shared together in 2018. We can do a film of your year or of a special family trip. These digital heirlooms will be loved for generations! Contact us to create your film today, or to buy a gift card so that your loved one can make one with us in 2019.
We know how important your family memories are to you. 👨👩👧👦 This holiday season, @smittenfilms and @masonlane_art are coming together to bring you two beautiful ways to enjoy those memories and give an unforgettable holiday present 🎁 to your family. 🎺🎉 Presenting the Moments to Memories holiday package! 🎺🎉 With this special offer you will get... (1) A custom Smitten Family Film with all your favorite videos and photos 🎞 (2) An expertly-designed Family Gallery Wall from our friends at Mason Lane 📸 ...all at preferred pricing! Contact us today at [email protected] to learn more! We can’t wait to help you get those holiday gifts off your checklist and help you get your 2018 footage organized, all at the same time! ✅✅✅
To all the lovely mamas following us, this one ☝🏼☝🏼is for YOU! We collaborated with our favorite fellow Tribeca mama, @mamaandtata, and @kiralovest to bring you our first ever #smittenproduction celebrating all the hard work you do and the beautiful love you spread. We learned a few important things shooting this video: 1) your kids love and appreciate you just the way you are 2) we love how they are always noticing/loving on us, just like we are always noticing/loving on them (after all, what is love but really paying attention to that person and their needs) 3) reinforced what we already knew - that moms are EVERYTHING and 4) that we are ready to roll out more #smittenproduction, so drop us a line to enquire more about what this entails. Happy Mother’s Day to all you lovely mamas out there, doing what is you do best…you (ps - head over to @mamaandtata, she is sponsoring a great Mother’s Day giveaway today and pps check out our stories to some more #bts from the shoot!). #mothersday #thesmittenlife #productionlife
On this first day of 2018, we're honored to share a Smitten First Years Film that we recently made for Mother Untitled founder Neha Leela Ruch. The videos and images of her son Bodie's first two years are adorable, but the images of Neha laughing, cheers-ing and dancing her way into motherhood are equally delightful. What a beautiful celebrations of the new chapters they have both walked into! Here's to your new journeys in 2018 and all that lies ahead. Happy New Year!
Brrr it’s getting cold out there! Hope this image will warm you up... Have you ever seen someone so snuggly? Could someone get this little lady some cocoa please?
#alltheholidayfeels as we get into the month of December! Try this #smittentip while you put up your holiday decorations: prop up your phone, set it to time lapse, walk away and get all hands on deck (and yes, expect funny faces to the camera from 8 year olds)! So much love and so much fun.
Wishing you a warm and fuzzy Thanksgiving with love, apples, and Smitten-worthy memories. That should do it. #happythanksgiving2017 #theonesthatyoulove #thesmittenlife
Fall thank goodness you've made it 🍁! We were watching family film clips 🎬 like this on repeat because we missed you so much. Now with Halloween behind us we can enjoy those last cool days before things get really cold. And there are few things as magical✨ or bring as much joy and laughter as playing with your sister in a big pile of leaves🍂. Can you feel the ❤️between these two? #thesmittenlife #capturemomentslikethese #yourjoyforever

Annual highlight films are the foundation of Smitten Films. You give us the thousands of 📷and hours of 🎞you've taken and we give you...this 👇🏼(and a much longer version and plenty of other goodies). It's an honor creating them year after year for our clients, and amazing to watch their families grow. When this crew 👇🏼started with us 4 years ago they were a family of 4 with 2 toddlers . Now a family of 5 with the 3 kids in elementary school, they bring the party 🎉 to everything they do. Anyone other than us 🙋🏻🙋🏻want to be adopted by them? #fromthearchives #familyfilm #beholdyourbliss
This weekend, may your skies be sunny ☀️, your hydrangeas be blooming 🌿, and your cannonballs be EPIC 💦(ps-ever wonder what to do with those 30 photos you take of the exact same thing? Now you know ☝🏼☝🏼 #yourewelcome) #getsmitten #makememories
Thanks so much Robin for letting us share this amazing mini version of your 4th (!) annual highlight film with our community. We are so inspired by your loving and playful approach to motherhood and your beautiful boys.
When shooting #familytrip footage, take a moment to get a few "establishing shots" of your new location 🏞🌆🌉. When you look back, you will be instantly transported to the majestic scenery and that magical time with your family! ✨✨✨✨ 📹@toastandcandy #tellyourstory #beholdyourbliss #fromthearchives

SUMMER is: prime time for memory making - pool parties 🏊, barbecues 🍔, and family time. When you take your phone out to capture all the fun, make sure to hold it HORIZONTALLY! It might feel a little awkward at first, but it’s totally worth it. Here’s why: If you shoot horizontally, your image is captured wide screen, just like 💻 and 📺 screens and when you watch that footage on a 💻 or 📺 screen, the image will fill the screen beautifully (no more awkward black strips on either side like with vertical images). Now get out there and shoot (you can thank us later!!!). #smittentips #getsmitten #makememories TAG A FRIEND who could use this tip! 👇🏼👇🏼
